It would be very hard for a jury to find the pilot guilty if no-one can point to any actual wrong doing; he was experienced, sober, doing something he had done before. The possibility of him blacking out throws further doubt over being able to prove wrongdoing.

Procedures for air shows have now changed so these sorts of manoeuvres can only be performed over the sea. That fits for the big Eastbourne air show, for example.Whether the old chaps who ran the Shoreham air show have any culpability remains to be seen.

There has not been an air show since the disaster and I don’t think there is any enthusiasm to hold it again. The guys who ran the show don’t rule it out, but I think it’s a bit insensitive to be saying that right now.

A memorial for those who died will be opening at a relatively quiet spot by the river, a short distance from the airfield and the crash site later this year. Hopefully that will give relatives some comfort that their relatives will not be forgotten.
